Centering 101: Not Caring

Lesson 1: The Art of Not Caring

Today we're going to learn the art of not caring. It's a skill that takes time and practice, but trust us, it's worth it.

Imagine you're at a party, and someone is talking about something that's not your thing. Do you:

• Try to politely listen while secretly counting down the minutes until you can leave?
• Acknowledge their existence and then swiftly exit stage left?

Or do you:

Just. Not. Care.

That's right. The art of not caring is not about being rude or dismissive. It's about being present, but not really being present. You're there, but you're not really there. It's like the opposite of being present, or something.
